No, I looked at your games, and you underestimate the opponent's ideas.
To break 1800, most people need coaches.

Did you read my post??
do not look at my recent games to give me advice! They were all blitz games and i'm so much worse at blitz than standard! they are not an accurate representation of my ability level in chess!
- I do understand the purposes of the openings I play, otherwise I wouldn't play them. Those are like the 1st things I learn when I learn openings. I do admit, though, I overlook a lot of my opponent's less obvious tactics (although I would probably see them easily if that tactic was available for me.)
- However, I work on tactics every day. Any other advice?
- My memory sucks.

No you didn't, they were all blitz! I never played any standard games on the site!
What did you think of my post? It had some advice for you.

When someone shows up with an account created a day or two ago and claims anything...I mean anything...just wait 6 months and watch how their posting goes. Sockpuppets will tip their hand; they can't help it.
Update?

OP deleted initial post and moved on...but I guess you could have figured that out on your own? The claim is gone, and the subject line of the post is also changed to a less inflammatory one, IIRC. If you are thinking this somehow proves they weren't a sockpuppet and they didn't just create a new one...not sure what to tell you.

You sure you want to double down on this?
I'm not doubling down on anything, nor are we in some kind of contest here...unless you saved this thread for just such a purpose. I'm not really sure why you just happened upon this thread after a couple of years, actually.

I'm good at the internet.
It seems that you underestimate the opponent's play.
Get a coach!
